First wave of BFE's?

My DS received a call this morning from Congressman congratulating him on his appointment, told it would be mailed this week, he is at Marion for Civil Prep as part of SAP scholarship. DS received straight A's his first semester and kept up on extracurriculars etc. hope this helps, I remember how nailbiting it was last year for us.
Do you know if your DS was a primary slate winner, or is a recruited athlete? Did he have a letter of assurance?

He was not the primary and not an athlete and no LOA. He was however an AOG scholar, but it's my understanding only a few Of the AOGs received nominations in this "first" wave. I would say his outstanding performance first semester at Marion secured his position this first wave. And I do believe the scheduled maintenance has everything to do with updating the portals with offers. Hope this helps.
 
I received a call from a member of The Board of Visitors that I should be receiving an appointment - so perhaps the letters aren't going out later?
 
How can you tell if it is updated? I can't seem to find it.

It won't update for a few days. maybe Monday. If the portal format hasn't changed since 2014, it'll be on the left side. Something like "Offered Appointment." And there will be a link or button to click. It's not something you have to dig for. It'll be obvious.

Totally normal for the portal not to change for a few days. They give the MOC's time to call. You might actually receive your BFE before the portal updates.
 
Well...doesn't appear to be late Feb for first wave, as some old timers predicted. I expect to see that picture posted on the admissions fb page any day. My guess is Today or Tuesday. I'm so glad many of you won't have to wait another month or so to know! Congrats to those in the first wave, and sit tight if you don't hear. Try not to panic...many many more appointments are after the first wave.
 
I got my call yesterday as well... my MOC said my appointment was put in the mail yesterday. I'm guessing that means the first wave has gone out...?
 
Are you a climber? Will you try out for the climbing team, climbergirl?
 
,just wondering , when you say you got a call from your MOC saying you would be seeing an appointment in the next several days did you know previously that you had received a nomination or did you find it all out at once??

DS knew he had a nomination weeks ago but just learned of his appointment yesterday. Not sure if different MOCs handle things differently.
 
Does anyone know if it's possible to receive an appointment with only a presidential nomination? I understand the ins and outs of the presidential nom, I'm just curious as to whether I still have a chance in the admissions process. Thanks!
 
Congrats to all who have received the nod thus far!! Those who have not, hang in there!! There is still plenty of time left. How, why and who chose them we will never kn

Push Hard, Press Forward
